Issue Position: Housing Assistance for Homeless Veterans

Issue Position

I co-sponsored the Homes for Heroes Act of 2009 (H.R.403), to amend the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to establish a Special Assistance for Veteran's Affairs department within HUD. The act also amends the United States Housing Act of 1937 to provide housing vouchers to all homeless veterans despite medical conditions. (Passed the House)
